According to § 35 II, 1 Promotionsordnung Dr. rer. nat. every PhD student has to apply for a RIGeL membership at the latest by 3 months after beginning of experimental work. Because of several exceedances of deadline the Doctoral Committee reserves the right to charge additional fees in case of failed deadline of application in the future. The regulation applies to every RIGeL registration which comes in after the 31st of July 2013 and exceeds the deadline of 3 months. Decisive for the deadline is the access of RIGeL registration at the Dean's office at the Faculty of Biology and Preclinical Medicine or at the Faculty of Medicine.
